I'm prepping a Photoshop file for the printers.

My Photoshop files use text files that I built in Illustrator and then placed into PS as linked smart objects.

The printer's instructions tell me to "create outlines" for my text. But there's no option to do this (I'm guessing because the text is an .ai smart object file).

Do I even need to worry about this when using text built in Illustrator and placed in Photoshop as a smart object? I'm thinking not as it's an object/graphic, not text, hence the issue?

Being self-taught is so fun!

One of the main reasons printers will ask you to convert your text outlines, in illustrator, is because if they do not have the font on their system that you used to create your text with, illustrator will automatically substitute and use a different font when they open the file. Creating outlines essentially converts the text into an object just like any other graphic element in the document so whether they have the font on the system or not, it will make no difference because it is no longer text. Creating outlines in Photoshop from text is not an option. That is an illustrator thing. You should be good to go without having to rasterize or flatten your Photoshop image
